Okay so the fascism was still thoroughly deniable if you were straight cis and white.
The internet was this like magical cool thing that was going to change everything.
The illusion of ownership was a lot more substantial, because while we were connected, we weren’t all always connected to everything
There was more space for privacy, interiority.
Houses were basically free (it was a scam but most people didn’t want to know that)
‘Conservative’ old dudes with nazi memorabilia usually got it the right way.
Even the literal nazis regularly shot at the cops. The cops even shot other nazis sometimes!
There were rarely more than 4 genocides going at once, none of them as bad or directly by major powers.
The cold war had just ended, so the libs were like 80% less insufferable (i know) and everyone was haopy the world couldnt suddenly end in nuclear fire with like two hours notice
A buncha annoying hippies and nerds were whining about ‘global warming’ but nobody really had to listen.
None of your tech had the juice to do what it said on the box and spy on you. Everything was unsecured. You could get into any computer anyone who mattered used by just deleting the password.
That last part sounds like some hyperbole i made up for a joke. It is not hyperbole and i did not make it up. It was, arguably, a joke.
The Nazi memorabilia was from their time killing Nazis and they remembered how great it was to kill Nazis. The few that were Nazis hid or because the others really wanted to kill Nazis again.
Yeah. Say what you want about 90s racist grandpa; the biggest problem he’d see with your gay blue haired ass getting gassed by cops who’re covering an ICE raid is that you let any of them live.
Like, he’d still call every single person on your side a slur, but he’d be doing it while he shouted abuse at you for not killing the nazis.

How exactly did they get “it” the right way?
